> 2. Basically Ruby code seems to favour magically generating methods and variables based on other strings, which makes them impossible to search for.

You might be talking about Rails here and not Ruby per se.

That's certainly not the norm. Where, more specifically?

One of the many right ones.

fknorangesite··on Grim Fandango
Are you aware that both pronunciations are correct?

'Cause boy are you going to be surprised when you find out about "accents".

fknorangesite··on How long til we're all on Ozempic?
> If someone has a broken leg, the word "crutch" isn't derogatory in the first place.

It is so profoundly disingenuous to pretend not to know what the word "crutch" means or what connotations it has in this context. Like, come on.

fknorangesite··on LinkedIn blocked due Meshtastic video in private chat

I imagine it's a lot more uni-directional.

Where there is a messaging platform, there are unsolicited dick pics.

fknorangesite··on How Africans are changing French, one joke, rap and book at a time
Exactly. Hence

They are tilting at windmills.

fknorangesite··on How Africans are changing French, one joke, rap and book at a time

My opinion of American tourists is such that I can't tell if this is a joke, and I'm Canadian, ffs.

Stop trying to make fetch happen.

> Reverting to common law? I'm not sure what you mean there.

Maybe you're not familiar with the term? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_law

> The defining characteristic of common law is that it arises as precedent. Common law courts look to the past decisions of courts to synthesize the legal principles of past cases

Or was it that you were unclear what _rm specifically was saying?

fknorangesite··on "Useless Ruby sugar": Endless (one-line) methods
Yes, but that's because the example we were given in this thread is just a toy strawman in that each of the methods are just simple one-liners anyway. So yeah, given this literal code sample, I agree the private methods are extraneous.

The point of this pattern is to extract each operation into its own described-by-name method because they're each longer and more complicated than just a `<<` operator or whatever.

fknorangesite··on Salad Fingers and the dawn of ‘weird YouTube’
Maybe not a quote per se, but every time I go to the gym and put my boxing gloves on, I think something to the effect of “How am I going to be able to type in these?”

That's the problem: they don't have those when they're hired; that shit comes with the job, not before it.
fknorangesite··on Scarlett Johansson takes legal action against use of image for AI
I'm sure there was no small part of this marketing strategy that was - at least as a worst-case scenario - hoping that people would share it in articles like this one.

Personally I say fuck that; let's not reward them.

fknorangesite··on Commercially available chairs in Star Trek
The first couple episodes of Lower Decks are the worst ones. The show only gets better.

I get that not everything is for everyone, but I really love Lower Decks. It's terrific Trek, even if it is a comedy.

fknorangesite··on LinkedIn is laying off nearly 700 employees
Right? There's a reason for all those old "I'd like to add you to my professional network on LinkedIn" memes. e.g., https://i.imgur.com/hwfYhHz.jpg
